Are Windshield Wipers Different for Left and Right Sides?

Nowadays, many car models have windshield wipers of different sizes for the left and right sides, with distinct left and right variations. Left and Right Differences: Some left-side wipers can only rotate about 90 degrees, while the right-side wipers have a larger rotation range, thus covering a bigger operational area. Generally, the left wiper is longer than the right one, and both sweep from the bottom right to the top left. This means the wiper on the driver's side is longer, while the one on the passenger side is shorter. Some car models have wipers of the same length on both sides, but the hooks connecting the wiper blades to the arms are different—the hook opening on the left blade is on the right side, and the hook opening on the right blade is on the left. Daily Maintenance of Windshield Wipers: Purchase appropriate cleaning agents and regularly use them to remove dirt from the wipers and residual grease from the windshield, ensuring the wipers can clean effectively and maintain clear visibility. Replace the wipers when necessary to prevent aging and hardening due to weather conditions, which could impair their functionality.
